Story
Hi everyone! My name is Alex. Some of you may know me as ' Alex The Great' of Greensboro. Being the loal celebrity that I am, you can view my FOX 8 interviews on the Tails of the Unwanted FB page! Well, that was my former life. Let me give you a bit of my history. Just a few, short months ago, I was living on the streets of Greensboro with my former owner. We were homeless. Needless to say, food was scarce, and I became very thin. Some concerned citizens contacted Animal Services about my plight. After some time, my owner surrendered me so that I could get the nutrition and care that I so badly needed. After a month in Guilford County Animal Services, I was nursed back to a healthy weight. They then transferred me into foster care where, over the past 6 months, I have been working on my inside manners, polite behavior, leash walking, and commands. This is what my foster parents have to say!!!! Alex is a very good boy! He is super sweet, not to mention handsome, and loves to get belly rubs and give kisses! He is a great swimmer and would love his new parents to take him to the lake or pool for a dip! He enjoys a nice, long walk and is good on a leash. If he catches a scent, he's on it, but it is corrected very easily. Although he is still learning his inside manners, he would love to cuddle on the couch with you, but he does great just chillin in his crate as well. (He has actually made his crate his safe place). We have found it difficult to get him out at times because Alex loves to play hard, and when his day is done, he's DONE! He is a 6-year-old healthy boy weighing approximately 50 lb. He is heartworm negative and up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. Alex would do best in a home where he has a lot of human contact and love. He can be anxious when separated from his people, which is not surprising due to him being with his past owner 24/7. He is currently on a low dose of anxiety medication, which is a far cry from where he was 6 months ago. He has settled in and has relaxed tremendously. He will need his humans to have patience for a while as he adjusts to his new surroundings. We believe that his new family will find that once Alex knows he's in a safe, loving place, he will relax and be the BESTEST boy for you! Alex would do best with older children as he is still very eager at meal time and treat time and is still learning his socialization skills but is good with other dogs in low-key settings. We are unsure about cats. Overall, Alex is a sweet, loving, affectionate boy who is eagerly waiting to meet his forever family!
